Jamie Samuelsen was 48 years radio personality who has been a fixture in the world of Detroit sports for more than 20 years. He passed away on Saturday.

Earlier, on Monday, Jamie announced his diagnosis of colon cancer “Each morning since my diagnosis, I got up, turned on the radio mic, and got to talk sports,” Samuelsen said. “I needed the escape from cancer, just like so many of our listeners who face hardships, grief, and illness, too — they turned to us in the morning for some levity in this crazy world. So I wanted to continue to have fun and not let cancer get in the way of doing what I loved.
